Ep89 Encore: How to create the Ultimate Office Christmas Party with Lisa Wiles

Upon Arrival | Events & Incentives with Adelaine Ng

How do you create the ultimate office Christmas party? There are some simple but big ideas that can make your event a great success, whether the idea of being volunteered to organise the big year-end event at your workplace fills you with excitement or dread. For example, if you know what to do with lighting and the size of your props, that’s more than half the battle won.

Lisa Wiles is the founder of Sydney Party Planner, a company she launched in 2001 after working in the events industry for global companies for over 20 years. She has professionally organised hundreds of themed Christmas parties and loves a challenge, which has included venues from country barns to secret warehouses.

Quotes from Episode:
"Anyone can do events but it's the people that love it that bring the extra."
"People talk about decorations but I think lighting is way more important than decorations".
"A lot of people make career-limiting moves at Christmas parties. My word of advice: Don't drink too much".
